Referring to the law and order situation in the state, CM Yogi directed officers to crack down on criminals and to ensure that administrative units like police stations and tehsils are free from political pressures. He also said that needs of 90 per cent people are fulfilled through police stations and tehsils and hence these places should be monitored specially.

With regards to the agriculture sector, the Chief Minister asked officers to ensure that payment of minimum support price is done in time and that the produce is stored in safe storage. With this, he added, work should be initiated in all seriousness to encourage agri-based industry.

For better and improved industrial environment in the state and to create job opportunities for youth, the Chief Minister underlined, prompt and effective decisions should be taken through a single window system. With this, effective implementation of central government run start up and skill development schemes should also be ensured, Yogi said.

Pointing out how the State has been left behind in the Prime Minister Swachh Bharat Mission, as compared to other states, the Chief Minister rued how cleanliness has still not improved in both urban and rural areas. He also lamented the fact that despite availability of staff for cleaning both in urban areas and the countryside, callousness was taking the better of the cleanliness drives, which in turn is leading to spread of various diseases.

Directing officers to take concrete steps in this direction to reverse the situation, the Chief Minister said that work should be initiated at a war footing to ensure that cleanliness targets are met with in 30 districts by December 2017. The Chief Minister on this occasion also administered an oath of cleanliness to all officers present and expressed hope that officers will work in the right earnest as per the tenets of the cleanliness oath.
